Apologies for cross-posting
A thematic issue of Literary and Linguistic Computing is planned which aims to bring together a variety of papers reflecting the research of young scholars in the wide field of Humanities Computing. The editors of this volume (Melissa Terras and Edward Vanhoutte) are looking for candidates who will have a chance to report on their research in this most established journal in the discipline. Preference will be given to those at the start of their academic career, such as PhD or advanced master degree students.
Participants should supply a brief outline of their academic history, current academic affiliation, date of birth, and abstracts of 500 words detailing the research being undertaken and outlining the subject of their paper. Each proposal will be subject to peer review, with the ten best being selected for publication in this volume of LLC. Authors chosen for publication will be then required to submit a 4-5,000 word paper regarding their research. Each author will have the opportunity to be mentored by a senior scholar in the discipline to aid in the completion of their paper.
Proposals should be sent no later than March 1st 2002 to the editors at . Applicants will be contacted regarding their proposal in early June 2002. Successful applicants will be required to submit their papers by November 2002. Publication is planned for the Spring 2003.
This is an excellent opportunity for young scholars in the field of Humanities Computing to be published in a widely read, esteemed journal. Although this call is primarily for young scholars in Humanities Computing, all proposals will be considered as long as they are not from those who hold a full time academic post. People who have began their academic careers late, and have not yet had the opportunity to establish themselves in their discipline are encouraged to submit a paper. The editors are striving for as wide a coverage of Humanities Computing as possible and encourage senior academics to circulate this call for papers.
